Unfinished Wood Dresser Set Makeover

4 Materials
This set of unfinished wood dressers got a classy makeover using new hardware, gel stain, chalk paint, and wax. As part of the Fabulous Furniture Flipping' Contest, I was able to choose up to $50 worth of hardware from D. Lawless Hardware, so I picked mercury glass knobs.
The dressers are going in my teenage daughter's room, and she loves the vintage and chic look. The combination of all of the products I used on this dresser makeover made them perfect.
Before- basic unfinished wood dressers. We kept them this way for years before I actually made them over.
After- the beautiful java tops, pure white sides, and mercury glass knobs look gorgeous on this pair.
For the top, I used two coats of General Finished java gel stain.
I added Duck Egg blue Annie Sloan chalk paint on the sides of the drawers for a little color surprise.


The entire piece (besides the stained top) received a coat of Daddy Van's wax.
Here's a close up of the pretty mercury glass hardware from D. Lawless Hardware.

This makeover was time consuming but not overly difficult. Quality products make a world of difference when doing a furniture makeover.
